  • Method Details

    • toMutable

      @NonNull public MutableDictionary toMutable()
      Return a mutable copy of the dictionary
      Returns:
      the MutableDictionary instance

    • count

      public int count()
      Gets the number of the entries in the dictionary.
      Specified by:
      count in interface DictionaryInterface
      Returns:
      the size of the dictionary

    • contains

      public boolean contains(@NonNull String key)
      Tests whether a property exists or not. This can be less expensive than getValue(String), because it does not have to allocate an Object for the property value.
      Specified by:
      contains in interface DictionaryInterface
      Parameters:
      key - the key
      Returns:
      the boolean value representing whether a property exists or not.

      the Blob value or null.

    • getDate

      @Nullable public Date getDate(@NonNull String key)
      Gets a property's value as a Date.
